Yeah but on the plus side, NY has beautiful weather year round, low crime, low taxes, great roads, and a low cost of living. Totally makes up for it.

I know. Nothing wrong with sharing that info and I don't doubt you. I just find it remarkable.. When I said "we" I really meant it. I include myself in the group of people who is more likely to trust a stranger on the internet than a corporation.

To be fair, it's a rare color, the mileage is very low, the service records are meticulous (there is a log book for all records between 2005-2020).

I work in an industry where unique items with strong providence always fetch a premium.

Fish’s old car. Udrive has made a habit as of late of buying nice cars from other dealers and doing nothing but adding $25k to their price. Is their client base that rich and dumb?

Buy all the nice low mileage ones, then you control the market.

You are more than free to stay away, and NY is much more than just NYC. I will put the driving experiences available throughout NY state over Arizona every day of the week, just my opinion. Don't even start talking about NJ, LOL.

He’s a good guy and very knowledgeable I bought my exhaust from him last year he has an amazing eye for collectible cars
each one is more interesting then the next
rich guys buy what they want but they aren’t usually hunting for deals they want it now and he gives it to them

My local group the 911 outlaws have many great rides throughout NY and NJ there many many great roads and tracks within a 2/3 hr drive and with a lot of wealthy people you definitely see amazing cars that are driven year round
let me know which major city has no issues I’ll move there

It's not a competition lol! Just pointed out some facts 😁

I grew up in the Northeast actually. I'm definitely happy here. You'd actually be pretty surprised if you know where to look, we have some roads as good as anything in the country here they are just a bit obscure. Check out the Devil's Highway or Apache Trail as examples. 95% of driving here is arrow straight highways though for sure.

I also grew up in NE but over a period of years I made many business trips to Phoenix, and also Tucson. I would always fly into Phoenix, then drive to Tucson when I needed. The scenery is beautiful, especially in the foothills. The sunsets are beautiful. Southern Arizona was a bit warm for my taste, but the only really negative things were the snakes, scorpions, and spiders. One evening I remember at a colleague's home we were looking out from his veranda and there were three large snakes slithering around in his back yard !!!!

Wonder how long it will take to sell, it does look like a nice example. On Hoovie's Garage last video he was talking about a recent Mecum auction (yes I know many of you hate him) but the auction results were pretty nutty. A lot of cars going for way more than you would have thought. I think so many nice cars have been bought that when nice ones pop up they are going for so much more now because the available pool of nice cars has shrunk. Although I've been watching a 996 turbo at our local dealer go from the 70s to 63k since September. Keep saying I am going to take a look but it scares me that its been sitting for four months.
